Destination: Siem Reap
B=Breakfast, L=Lunch, D=Dinner
Day 1:
Arrival at Siem Reap (D)
On your
arrival at Siem Reap airport, you’ll be met
and driven to your hotel. The day’s
activities, and those of the next, will be
devoted to the Angkor Temple complex, of
which Angkor Wat is a key element. You’ll
begin with a visit to Angkor Thom, starting
with the Bayon, a bizarre structure of
several architectural changes reflecting a
switch from Hinduism (the foundations) to
Buddhism (the superstructure).
Your next
visit will be to the Elephant and Leper
Emperor Terraces, followed by the Baphoun
Temple, which is now nearing the end of an
eight-year multi-million dollar restoration
programme. In the afternoon, you’ll explore
Angkor Wat itself, the largest, and for most
people, the most impressive temple in the
complex. As dusk nears, a walk to the summit
of Phnom Bakheng Hill will afford a panorama
of the whole complex lit by the rays of the
setting sun, weather permitting of course.
You’ll
spend the night at Casa Angkor Hotel (*** in
the heart of city centre) or similar
Day 2:
Siem Reap (B, L)
Your day will
be taken up with visits to some of the outer
sites including Ta Keo, a five-tiered
pyramid, Sras Srang lake and landing
terrace, Prasat Kravan (also known as the
Cardomom Sanctuary), and Pre Rup and East
Mebon, both built in the tenth century.
You’ll also see Ta Prohm, strangled by
massive tree roots and typical of the
condition of the whole complex when it was
discovered in 1860 by French naturalist
Henri Mouhot, and Neak Pean, a
Himalayan-style lake and sanctuary.
You’ll
spend the night at Casa Angkor Hotel (*** in
the heart of city centre) or similar
Day 3:
Siem Reap (B, L)
After
breakfast, you’ll be driven to Siem Reap
River and Wat Athovea. There, you’ll embark
for a boat trip on Tonle Sap Lake, a natural
reservoir that partly controls the level of
floods in the Mekong Delta, and visit a
floating fishing village en-route. You’ll
return to your hotel for checkout and lunch,
and have free time in the afternoon until
your car returns to pick you up for your
international departure flight.
